FIREBOMBS

    Most fire bombs are simply gasoline filled bottles with a fuel
    soaked rag in the mouth (the bottle's mouth, not yours). The original
    Molotov cocktail, and still about the best, was a mixture of one part
    gasoline and one part motor oil. The oil helps it to cling to what it
    splatters on.

    Some use one part roofing tar and one part gasoline. Fire bombs have
    been found which were made by pouring melted wax into gasoline.


                                NAPALM

    About the best fire bomb is napalm. It has a thick consistency,
    like jam and is best for use on vehicles or buildings.

    Napalms is simply one part gasoline and one part soap. The soap is
    either soap flakes or shredded bar soap. Detergents won't do.

    The gasoline must be heated in order for the soap to melt. The usual
    way is with a double boiler where the top part has at least a two-
    quart capacity. The water in the bottom part is brought to a boil and
    the double boiler is taken from the stove and carried to where there
    is no flame.

    Then one part, by volume, of gasoline is put in the top part and
    allowed to heat as much as it will and the soap is added and the mess
    is stirred until it thickens. A better way to heat gasoline is to
    fill a bathtub with water as hot as you can get it. It will hold its
    heat longer and permit a much larger container than will the double
    boiler.


                           MATCH HEAD BOMB

    Simple safety match heads in a pipe, capped at both ends, make a
    devastating bomb. It is set off with a regular fuse

    A plastic Baggie is put into the pipe before the heads go in to
    prevent detonation by contact with the metal.

    Cutting enough match heads to fill the pipe can be tedious work for
    one but an evening's fun for the family if you can drag them away
    from the TV.


                       FUSE IGNITION FIRE BOMB

    A four strand homemade fuse is used for this. It burns like fury.
    It is held down and concealed by a strip of bent tin cut from a can.
    The exposed end of the fuse is dipped into the flare igniter. To use
    this one, you light the fuse and hold the fire bomb until the fuse
    has burned out of sight under the tin. Then throw it and when it
    breaks, the burning fuse will ignite the contents.
